Petition Urgent research for AT/RT Tumours must be done in the UK.

Rhiley Kim Bennett was diagnosed with an AT/RT Tumour on her brain & spine aged just 2 years old on 12th June 2014. We lost our little girl on 23rd April 2015 aged 3. With the majority of under 3's being diagnosed, the chance of survival remains low at just 15% or less.

* Effects all of the basic bodily functions.
* AT/RT grows rapidly & patients have a fairly short history of progressive symptoms, measured in days to weeks.
